Wayhey. Let me just say that there are a LOT of people out there with eczema! Thanks so much to everyone who responded to my questions from my previous post. You guys rock.

This evening I did something a little out of the ordinary (for me anyway). I met up with my online friend Shai - writer, artist, author, publisher and full time mother!
She and her family were in town for a short holiday. So I had to meet her! We dragged our kids and husbands to a pub for dinner and drinks. We had a great time chatting!

She was lovely. And the way she talked was identical to the way she wrote. Her online “voice”. I found that really fascinating. Mainly because I often wonder how I come across both online and offline.

I’ve been told I have a weird accent. Some strange mix of Australian + Asian + American. God knows where my American pronunciations come from. Watching Sesame Street as a kid?

Anyway, the pub was perfect. Quiet, cozy, warm and intimate.
The kids played happily. They had a ball. Dancing on the empty stage. Collecting beer coasters off the floor. Rearranging the bar stools. And I even caught Callum climbing up onto several empty tables to blow out the candles! So naughty!

Stumble This!
